"Teach" -- "OK": teacher explains top then creatively yells "teach" then students mimic back "Ok," students then teach what they just learned to their partner then switches.
"Class?" -- "Yes?": same as Teach-ok but to get attention of class and for transitions
Scoreboard: extra-credit or dexter-credit, :) or :( , or — homework or + homework: visual way to show student what is appropriate behavior or not in the classroom without punishment, there are sounds and actions that happen when the teacher adds a point to either good or bad actions.
Micro-lecture: teacher speaks briefly for about 30 seconds at a time with gestures because the ore a teacher talks the more students get bored and are not engaged.
Hands and eyes: the teacher yells out "Hands and Eyes" and the student put their hands on their desks and eyes on the teacher for total focus because the teacher has something important to say.
Comprehension check: teacher mingles between students during "teach-ok" to see if they are doing what they are supposed to be doing and if they have the right information.
Don't show that you don't have a plan, state we're starting a more advanced program.
Explain "class-yes" which is an attention getter used many times a day. You need to be creative so you create student engagement which is what power teaching is all about!
Lesson 2: he breaks down the 5 classroom rules, each rule has a gesture which needs to be practiced often so that they become habits for the students but make sure the practices are fun! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2lHL78quPag&feature=related
follow directions quickly
raise your hand for permission to speak
raise your hand for permission to leave your seat
make smart choices
Keep your teacher HAPPY!
3 ways to practice the rules are
prompt the students "rule 1" -- " rule 1= follow directions quickly"
when it gets out of control just say "Rule 2" and have the kids repeat back each time they forget and speak without raising their hands
Lesson 5: Rule 3: practice breaking the rule like rule 2 but state that if there is a green post-it next to the rule and the teacher says it is ok then they are allowed at those times to move around the room. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g183OXxJ2pw&feature=related
